Where have those Frary's been?

Holy cow, our house IS a mad house!  The past month since school got in it has just been so insane with everything! David is in first grade.  This year I decided to be more involved with Dave's school.  I joined the PTA the end of last year and continued in to this year.  This year I signed up to be in charge of safety week at his school.  Huge project for me while I am back to trying to work full time hours at work.  It was crazy! Planning a week's worth of events, treats, etc for 500+ kids.  Phew! I am so GLAD it is over!  But I have seen the change in Dave knowing that I am at his school serving.  He is so happy and I can tell it makes him feel better.  So I will make it happen.  Next up...SEP's (parent-teacher conferences), book fair, red ribbon week, and SO much more! Good thing someone else is in charge of those! Haha!  I love the moms I am working with and we all love that we are there for our children and their school. 

We found the BEST babysitter for Jordan! I was stressing about this ALL summer long.  It was expensive, too far, no room for him, etc....all the excuses in the book!  The first day of school a friend of mine let me know about a lady in our Ward that does daycare from home.  It was total news to me! So I asked around about her and everyone loved her!  So we have been there since! Jordan loves her.  He calls her Grandma Amanda.  Such a sweet lady.  She truly takes care of him and I have zero regrets going to work and I am never wondering if my child is being taken care of! Such a relief!

Work has been insane! We had a couple girls move out of the state within a couple of week from each other! I hate change there.  We all love each other and get along--it's like a sisterhood love/hate relationship that it is hard to part ways sometimes.

Football. Enough said.  It's fall so football season  has begun both on my television and for Ashton.  Because of some things we are working on with Ashton, we decided to keep him in flag football again this year.  All of us (lol, all 4 parents) agreed he was not ready for tackle just yet.  His coach is a little intense for flag football but at least he is learning. 

Gold's Gym is kicking my trash.  Another friend of mine decided to sign up so we have been going at 5am a few times a week.  Didn't take long for me to get shin splints.  But I think I have since recovered.  Those suckers hurt!  But no pain no gain--or is it loss? Right? 

Shon is still working as hard as ever.  We all move him for it and we cherish the nights when we are ALL home.

I have accepted a calling in the Relief Society presidency.  It is keeping me on my toes.  But I love it and I love serving and helping the sisters in my ward.  Now if I could just remember names...that would help! :-)

So this year's school season is definitely not leaving any dull moments, or moments of sleep in our house...but we love it! Happy Fall Y'all!
